A lovely little film of the 2009 bonfire

Thanks Adam!

There is even a virtual bonfire!

Even in the virtual world there is a Skinningrove Bonfire.
If you check out the movie in the Jetty Project section people are dancing around the bonfire. Although the bonfire in the movie isn’t a themed structure it’s cool that the bonfire is so significant & important that it’s been put in this film about the future. Skinningroves future could’t be imagined without the bonfire!
